Name: Yin
Previously Stamped As: Vivi/Yuna (Regular Rating), Ellone/Larsa (Mirror Theme), White Mage (Job Theme), Phoenix (Summon Theme), Edea (Villain Theme), Selfless Mage (Stereotype Theme), Final Fantasy IX (World Theme), Guado (Race Theme), "Melodies of Life" from FFIX (Song Theme), Flute (Weapon Theme), Vaan (Matchmaker Theme), White Mage (Mirror Job Class Theme), Kimahri & Rikku / Lenna Tycoon & Zidane (Party Theme), Terra (Dissidia Theme), White SeeD (Group Theme)
Does the gender of your BFF matter?: Not really. When meeting someone new, I tend to feel more comfortable around other females at first for some reason...but once I get to know someone rather well and they're someone I enjoy talking to, I'm pretty comfortable with them regardless of their gender. Since this is a Best Friend Theme, I suppose that would definitely be the case--so either gender is fine with me! :D
If this is a restamp, please indicate who you were stamped with and why you are reapplying.: N/A
You say up, I say down.
Define friendship in your own words.: Friendship is when two people have a very close bond with one another and they like being in one another's company voluntarily. A really great friendship can be even deeper than a familial bond...as you aren't connected to one another due to blood, but by choice on both your parts. You sometimes don't necessarily really agree or like your family all that much--but being "friends" with someone means that you do really like that person for one reason or another (in fact, some family members can be considered friends at the same time if you really enjoy their company a lot...which is not always the case with every relative). Friendships can be really strong ones where friends become like siblings to each other, or they can be more light-hearted ones...it just really depends on the people involved in them. They continually evolve--perhaps at times growing softer or less close depending on time and how people change, or even becoming deeper and more meaningful with the passage of time as well.
Are you the type of person to have many friends who aren't quite as close, or very few but very close friends?: I'm not the most sociable person on the planet...so I tend to have very few but very close friends.
As an extention of the previous question, do you make friends easily?: Not really. I'm pretty shy when it comes to interacting with people, and it takes a lot for me to be really open with someone or try to engage in conversations. I don't dislike people or anything, and I have quite a few acquaintances at work and other places I frequent...but it takes a lot of time for me to develop those types of relationships into actual friendships.
Tell us about some of your interests and beliefs. Is it important for you to have these in common with your friends?: I enjoy reading (especially fantasy stories, but other works of fiction and non-fiction are also quite enjoyable to me as well), writing, video games (especially RPGs), certain television shows/movies, and anime/manga. It would definitely be nice to have some of those things in common with a friend...though it isn't absolutely necessary (a few of my friends either only like one or two of my interests or actually don't really have much of an interest in them either way). I try and be respectful of others' opinions (even if I disagree with them, I will not try and argue that point overly much...especially to a degree where it could be construed as ridicule or being really rude), and I'd like for my friends to do the same for me or others. I think that people should try to be understanding of everyone around them and see things from different perspectives. Treat people as you would like to be treated in turn is a great mindset to have, I think. :)
Describe the relationship you have with your current best friend.: My best friend at the moment is probably my sister Breyzy...I can honestly say I think of her as both a family member and a dear friend. I've known her for a really long time, and she's one of the few people that I feel really comfortable with being open in front of and expressing my innermost thoughts with. I admire her quite a lot, because she's the opposite of me in quite a few ways: including her more outgoing nature and her confidence in regards to many situations. Sure, we have our arguments sometimes and they can be pretty bad ones...but we're good friends as well who can confide in each other.
And I ain't too proud to say...
Name five of your positive traits.: Caring, observant, creative, gentle, understanding.
Name five of your negative traits.: Shy/withdrawn, anxious, physically weak, naive, lazy.
Which of these traits, if any, do you like to have in common with your friends and which do you not?: The most important thing, I think...is that I would at least like them to be understanding. I think that trait is actually pretty vital in any relationship--be it friendship or otherwise.
Is rivalry acceptable in a friendship for you?: I've had experience with rivalry in friendships in the past...and it frustrates me quite a lot actually. I don't really like it when people get compared to one another in general, and even a friendly rivalry can get out of hand if you let it. I wouldn't want my friend to really feel jealous or resentful of me, and vice versa...if I could avoid it, at any rate.
In your group of friends, what role (e.g. the leader, the prankster, the sweet one, etc.) do you tend to play?: I tend to be the "quiet sweet one" or the "diplomat." I don't speak up a lot, but I'm always looking out for others in my group of friends.
You've been a friend to me.
A great and terrible war has been waging for years, slowly taking towns one by one. Many have fleed, taking to lives of crime, revolution, opportunity... Others have picked sides, choosing to fight for their beliefs. The rest remain in their village, waiting to protect their homes with everything they've got. In the grand scheme of things, where do you see you and your friend?: I imagine that at first we'd probably be staying in our village, trying to protect our homes and others who have stayed behind (especially if there were people there who weren't able to leave right away due to various circumstances). We'd be trying to make life better for the village as a whole perhaps by gathering supplies and such, trying to divert attention from the place, keeping enemy soldiers or bandits away, or helping to evacuate everyone we could when staying was no longer an option.
It seems one of the armies have captured you for reasons they neglect to enlighten you with. You do happen to overhear them saying they're going to feed you and your friend to the antlion, which means - you guessed it! - escape sequence time. Tell us how you and your friend escape death's clutches. Be creative!: My friend and I would make a huge scene in our cell (or cells) that would either cause the guards to rush in to see what was going on or come closer to yell at us in annoyance...and while they're panicked or threatening us and not really paying as much attention as they should be, my friend would swipe the key that was hanging a bit too visibly at one of their sides. We'd open the door when their attention was away from us, surprise attack one of them and take their weapons and uniform to wear--then do the same to another guard. After we were both outfitted, we'd try and sneak out of the compound right under the other soldiers' noses. Eventually though, I imagine our cover would be blown at some point when either a more intelligent officer recognized that we weren't as knowledgeable about protocol as we should be or that we didn't look like any recruits at the compound...so we'd have to run and try to attack anyone who came after us very quickly in order to avoid more reinforcements. If we came across the antlion somewhere during our escape and it was in some sort of cage, we might open the lock to let the creature attack our pursuers for us so long as we were able to get away from it before it turned its attention on us in order to buy more time. Whether or not THAT actually occurred, we'd eventually make our way to either the hangar or the stables and "borrow" a vehicle or some mounts to make our escape with.
Bummer. Despite your efforts, the leader of said army has come and put a complete halt to your shenanigans. However, they're actually impressed with your skill and want to enlist you as high-ranking generals in their army. Your friend is worried that if you and them decline, you'll be killed on the spot; they seem more inclined towards accepting the deal. On the other hand, this army did just try to kill you because you happened to be standing nearby. What do you decide?: I'd be more hesitant to do so...simply because I would definitely not be very trusting of people who tried to kill me earlier (and who were also partly responsible for making a whole bunch of other peoples' lives miserable, as the first question in this part indicated). If I thought that it could buy us some time...I might reluctantly agree to doing so, but only if my friend and I were in silent agreement that we'd use the opportunity to make our escape the second we were given a bit more freedom due to this change in status. Otherwise, based on my own perceptions of the situation...I'd probably just have to say no. That situation wouldn't sit well with me for a variety of reasons.
Well, whatever you decided is pretty much a moot point now. For some reason, the leader of that army decided they wanted your friend, not you. Through some charm and quite possibly some mind tricks, they turn your friend against you. What are you going to do now?: I'd yell at my friend or plead with them and tell them to snap out of it...but if that really didn't seem like it was going to work--I'd fight defensively so that I wouldn't hurt my friend too much (I'd probably just use status-changing spells to make their attacks less effective or lower their speed while blocking with my weapon), and run away as quickly as possible to think things through.
And what about your friend? Is this some clever ruse to get on the inside? Are they possessed? Are they truly out to get on the "winning" side? Give us your thoughts on what might make your friend pull something like this.: I could possibly see it being a clever ruse to get on the inside (especially if they thought it could buy us some time or help to get more information)...if that were the case, I think they'd just be hoping I would understand or trust them well enough to realize that on some level. Possession or magical coercion could also be be a factor too. They could also somehow just think that perhaps it was the right thing to do somehow due to past experiences they'd had and their own perception of the situation. Whatever the case, I imagine that my friend would probably feel inwardly conflicted about it even if they tried not to let it show.
After some drama and many hardships, you and your friend are eventually reunited just in time for the final boss fight. How does the reunion go? Is it bittersweet, pure joy, angry--something else entirely?: There would probably be a mixture of emotions during the reunion ranging from bittersweet ones, to angry or sad ones, and even joyful ones. I imagine that my friend might be feeling guilty or sad about their actions, but I think if we were able to talk to one another more before the final boss fight...it would shed some light on things both for myself and them. I'd eventually tell them that it was okay, and that I'm glad that we were able to meet up again under better circumstances. We could talk more about the situation later, and that if they were feeling bad about how things ended up turning out they could always try and make it up to an extent by whatever course it is they take in the future. The only thing important at the moment is winning the fight that lies ahead, everything else can wait until a bit later.
Finally, the credits are rolling and giving some insight on the whereabouts of everyone after saving the world. Where are you and your friend?: We'd probably be together, I suppose...traveling the world now that it was a peaceful place and seeing how all of the companions we'd met along the way were doing (and maybe even helping out at places when there were a spot of trouble with monsters and the like). Both of us could discuss what had happened to one another while we were on our separate paths, but I think we'd probably just really enjoy having quiet moments where we could relax and enjoy ourselves some now that we were finally able to do so.
A godsend to me.
